New York A06630 establishes a funding act to increase resources for expanded in-home services for the elderly.

New York A06630, known as the expanded in-home services funding act, amends the elder law to create a five-year service delivery innovation pilot program. This program aims to develop innovative delivery models such as telehealth services, volunteer transportation networks, and community-based respite care. The funding will specifically target the elimination of the current waitlist for services like meal delivery, housekeeping, personal care, and transportation. Additionally, the act allocates $42 million for these purposes, with a portion designated for rural counties with the highest need.
